Augment LeadsPart of our guide on how to grow a personal injury law firm. This page covers workers' compensation cases only.
How many workplace injuries happen each year?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that private industry employers recorded 2.5 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in 2024, the lowest count for that data series going back to 2003. These are employer-reported cases, so they don't include every injury a worker never reports.
How is workers' comp different from other injury cases?
Each state runs its own workers' compensation system, with its own agency, forms and deadlines. The US Department of Labor keeps a directory of state workers' compensation officials, and federal employees are covered by the separate Federal Employees' Compensation Act program.
That's why workers' comp marketing and intake are state by state. Our state guides cover notice rules, choice of doctor and other screening points: Pennsylvania, California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Georgia. The workers' comp leads by state hub compares them.
What are the steps to get more workers' comp cases?
- Pick the states where your firm handles workers' comp claims.
- Learn each state's reporting deadline and claim process, and build them into your intake script.
- Answer inquiries quickly, including early mornings and evenings when shift workers can talk.
- Follow up on a schedule. An injured worker may wait to see whether the employer or insurer pays first.
- Add a paid source, such as ads or exclusive workers' comp leads, limited to your states.
- Track signed workers' comp cases and cost per signed case by source every month.
What should workers' comp intake ask?
| Intake question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Were you hurt while working? | The claim depends on a work-related injury |
| When did it happen, and have you reported it? | States set notice deadlines |
| Are you an employee, and who is your employer? | Coverage depends on employment status |
| Have you seen a doctor, and who chose them? | Some states limit choice of doctor |
| Has a claim been accepted or denied? | Changes what the worker needs from you |
| Do you already have a lawyer? | Avoids calling someone already represented |
Where exclusive cases fit
Exclusive leads are one source of new cases, not a whole growth plan. They pay off most once your intake can answer fast and you know which cases you want.
Exclusive MVA cases
Augment Leads runs its own car accident campaigns nationwide. The injured person fills in the form, and each MVA lead goes to one firm only, with an SMS-verified phone and a TrustedForm certificate, delivered to your CRM or intake team in real time. You choose the states and accident types you take.
Exclusive workers' comp cases
Each workers' comp lead comes from a person hurt on the job who filled in the form themselves. It's screened for whether they were injured while working, whether they reported it and whether they already have a lawyer, then sent to one firm only. Unqualified leads are replaced under your agreement. Spanish-speaking MVA and workers' comp leads are also available.
